Super friendly. Prices fair. Waitress awesome. Food was fantastic. Everything they were serving looked scrumptious.
Wish I lived closer.

Absolutely delicious! I had the pleasure of trying this Cafe today for brunch. The omelette is phenomenal! The empanadas are quite tasty too. The horchata frappe is amazing. Looking forward to ordering again soon to explore more of their menu.

Amazing prices and even more delicious food . I got their breakfast Baleada and it was stunning. The wrap was buttery soft , the meat was citrusy and flavorful and the seasonings all added to the amazing flavor . Recommend for an indulgent breakfast .
Didn’t like their latte much but the food keeps the score a solid 5 stars .

Esmerelda's is a true hidden gem in north Durham! I got coffee a few times when they used to be located in Northgate Mall and loved it. I was happy to hear they had opened in a new location after the mall closed. I have only had coffee and donuts from them, but their food menu has so much variety and always looks and smells delicious whenever I am there. I need to plan a full meal soon. Do not sleep on this place!!

This place is fantastic...customer service is wondeful..very good food and drinks...there won't be anything to take home later because you'll finish it all..seasonings and flavor is perfectly balanced. Definitely coming here again before we leave Durham :)

I want to leave them a good review cause I like their little cafe and the food. But I hope they see this. They do not know how to make espresso drinks. Like they don't even know what they are. At least the barista today did not know. Iced Americano has about a teaspoon of espresso

My first time here was told food was really good. First thing you can sit or order Togo. We were advised they did not have Wait staff and I didn’t mind that I had to place my order up front. They dont have a big Menu where I can look while waiting. We got to the front and we still did not know what we wanted girl asumes I didn’t know I English and tells the other girl I hate when they do this. Do what there is no menu on the wall didn’t know what I wanted. My thing is that that they should have some sort of menu that one can look at while waiting on line so when it’s finally your turn they don’t get frustrate for not knowing what they have and what you want to eat. And from the photo you can see no menu on wall when it’s your turn. Food was really good will give them that

I just had the best experience and I only called in my order to be picked up. It was the first time I had been to this restaurant and since I was working two doors down I decided to try it. I walked in and everyone was so polite and smiles everywhere. I think that’s what I loved about this place most of all. I felt very welcomed here by the staff. I ordered a steak quesadilla. To say it was amazing is an understatement. So delicious I was wanting more. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite restaurants I have been to and I will now frequent this place more than any other single restaurant. Wonderful place to go for great food and smiling faces. 😀

A really fun place to stop for an affordable brunch! The best deal is the breakfast burrito, which is somehow only 6 dollars; it is very filling and absolutely delicious. The place has a great family atmosphere and the service is wonderful. My wife and I are really happy to have found it and will be regulars!

Such a great hole in the wall! I happened on it after a Costco run (it’s right across the street by Burlington Coat Factory). Everybody speaks Spanish, the food and service cordial and personal (even though I don’t speak Spanish) and amazing. Would definitely recommend if you chance to be lucky enough and find this place.

Really authentic food, very friendly staff, fresh donuts, and fast service. They also have one of the best collections of vintage coffee grinders I've ever seen.

This is place is truly authentic! Their bacon egg and cheese croissant is delicious and the caramel latte I didn't even have to add any sugar. It was perfect! My son loves their horchata! They were fast too and so polite! Highly recommend this place.
